RECENT NEWS

Duma Energy Corp. has announced the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement whereby Duma has the right to acquire all of the shares of Namibia Exploration Inc. in exchange for up to 24.9 million unregistered shares of Duma Energy.

Third quarter results were close to those reported for the second quarter but well ahead of year ago levels. Oil prices were flat but gas prices continue to decline. Revenue from natural gas declined from second quarter levels due to lower volume and lower prices and we expect this trend to continue.

KEY POINTS

Coverage has been initiated by Zacks Investment Research.

Revenue and earnings are expected to show significant growth over the next few years.

Namibia ownership interest is now 39% of the over 5 million acres in the Owampo Basin concession.

Profitable third quarter, zero debt and positive cash flow from operations.

2012 year end production is projected to exceed 1,000 boe/d gross, or over 90,000 boe a quarter. That equates to 540 MMcfe a quarter. At the current price per MMcfe of $14.24 per Mcfe that equates to revenue goal of $7.8 million. Year end 2013 production is projected to be 2,500 boe/d gross or 230 Mbbl a quarter. At $100 a bbl that would be a $23 million quarterly run rate.

OVERVIEW

Incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 12, 2005 under the name Carlin Gold Corporation the company changed its name to Nevada Gold Corp. on July 19,2005. On October 18, 2005,the name was changed to Gulf States Energy, Inc. to better reflect the new direction of the company. Authorized capital was increased from 100,000,000 shares of common stock to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. On September 5, 2006, the name was changed to Strategic American Oil Corporation , and in April 2012 the name became Duma Energy Corp.

Duma Energy owns 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of (1) Penasco Petroleum Inc., a Nevada corporation, (2) Galveston Bay Energy, LLC, a Texas Corporation and (3) SPE Navigation I, LLC, a Nevada limited liability corporation.

The company owns oil and natural gas producing properties and royalty interests in Texas and Illinois and a working interest of 39% in part of the Owambo Basin in Northern Namibia. At one time Duma Energy had a royalty interest in three leases in Northeastern Louisiana, but this was sold back to the operator.

Texas

The company owns over 100 wells in Texas but not all are producing oil or gas. Of these 27 to 30 are in Galveston Bay, most in shallow water 4' to 15' deep. Other areas are The Welder Lease, the Janssen Lease and the Koliba Lease, although the Koliba Lease is no longer active.

Galveston Bay Energy (GBE)

The fields are wholly owned by Duma Energy. The oil is of very high quality and sells at a premium to WTI Cushing crude.

Duma Energy owns the four fields in Galveston Bay through its subsidiary GBE. The fields were shut-in in September 2008 due to a direct hit from Hurricane Ike. The then owner went into bankruptcy and the fields were later acquired by Duma Energy. The fourth field was brought on line in April 2012 and GBE is focused on working to increase output from this field. Product is sent to shore by pipeline, the natural gas is separated from the oil and sent out by pipeline. The oil is trucked out by third party vendors.

As of mid year 2012 the fields were producing oil, albeit at lower than pre hurricane levels. The company intends to improve the infrastructure and develop the wells to increase production.

The Welder Lease (Barge Canal), Texas

The lease, with two working wells and a salt water disposal well, was purchased from OPEX Energy LLC in November, 2006 with an effective date of August 1, 2006. The lease is about 81 acres located in Calhoun County, Texas. The agreement was for 100% working interest and 72.5% net revenue interest less a 10% payout. The payout was acquired on January 1, 2010 and Duma Energy now owns 100% of the working interest. There are additional pay zones that are accessible at low cost. In October, 2011 a third producing well, the Welder #5 was recompleted.

Janssen Lease, Texas

Duma Energy purchased a 25% working interest and a 18.75% net revenue interest in close to 140 acres of an oil and gas lease in Karnes County Texas from Rockwell Energy. Attempts to open up existing wells were not successful and the lease was renegotiated with the mineral owners. The working interest was farmed out to ETG Energy Resources, with Duma Energy retaining a 3% working interest. ETG was able to re-complete a well and Janssen A-1 is now producing small amounts of natural gas and condensate.

Illinois

The company has acquired numerous oil and gas leases in Jefferson and other counties in Illinois totaling about 237 acres (the Markham City prospect). This is an old field that was operated in the 1980s that has been "rediscovered". There are a lot of well logs and production history. A pilot well (once used for water flooding) is a good prospect for oil production of about 7 to 10 bbls a day. In January 2011 Duma farmed out its interest to Core Minerals Management II, LLC but retained a 10% working interest. If Core recoups an earnings threshold of $1.35 million the holding of Duma will increase to 25%

Owambo, Namibia

Duma Energy announced on August 8, 2012 that it had acquired Namibia Exploration Inc. (NEI), a Nevada company, and that NEI would be a wholly owned subsidiary of Duma. NEI holds the rights to a 39% ( 43.33% cost responsibility) working interest in an onshore Namibian petroleum concession measuring about 5.3 million acres in the Owambo Basin in Namibia. Hydrocarb Namibia will own 51% (56.67 % cost responsibility) and the Namibian National Petroleum Corporation will own 10%. The concession is covered by Petroleum Exploration License No. 0038 and exists of Owambo blocks 1714A, 1715, 1814A and 1815A. These blocks are north of and adjacent to the Etosha National Park and Etosha restricted area but none of the blocks are restricted in their development.

Zacks Investment Research Page 5 scr.zacks.com

These are close to the blocks 1717 and 1817 that were awarded to Frontier Resources International, London England. In January 2012 the Frontier Resources Group was granted its first exploration license in Namibia, Petroleum Exploration License #0049. Under the terms of the license agreement the Group has committed to geological and geophysical studies and the acquisition of aeromagnetic and aerogravity data within the next few years. The onshore Blocks awarded, covering approx. 18,900 sq kms, are located in the Owambo Basin in the northern part of the country near the border with Angola. While this basin remains largely underexplored, there are some older seismic lines available. Under the terms of the license, Frontier is obligated to gather all available data on the blocks in addition to reprocessing and re-interpreting the existing seismic data and conducting a reconnaissance geochemical sampling program to high grade any structures identified. Other exploration companies operating in the onshore basin include a local company, Preview Energy.

Exploration interest in Namibia s Owambo Basin is being driven by the similarity of the geological formations which have the same geological history as some oil producing regions in the Middle East. Neither onshore nor offshore Namibia has a significant history of oil or gas production, but the geological data is believed to indicate a great deal of potential. In the past the Namibian Government has granted concessions to Circle Oil Plc , Buliround Company and China-Shine HF Ltd. Although wells have been drilled no significant oil deposits have been identified even though the geological structures are highly favorable.

Namibia is considered by the CIA to be a stable democracy. The official language is English.

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

Over the past three to four years the poor economic conditions world-wide have reduced the demand for both oil and gas. The current cost of corn has resulted in a lack of profits by the ethanol industry causing plant closures. If a waiver is not granted to the ethanol/gasoline blenders there will not be enough ethanol to meet the quotas and ethanol will be replaced by gasoline from crude oil. When the economies recover crude demand will increase, as will the price.

Page 8: Small-Cap Research 18, 2012...Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Year (Oct) (Jan) (Apr) (Jul) (Jul) 2010 $0.53A 2011 $0.11A $0.12A $1.26A $1.93A $3.41A ... Third quarter results were close to those reported

Zacks Investment Research Page 8 scr.zacks.com

Much of the interest is in the new fields that contain both oil and gas. However, there is still a large gap between production and consumption, one that is unlikely to shrink to much less than 10,000,000 barrels a day. So there will always be a demand for domestic sources of crude oil. Natural gas is hard to transport outside of a pipeline. As a result the current transportation infrastructure is not in place to transport oil from such places as the Bakken shale formation to refineries, or for gas production from shale fracking in the Marcellus, Utica and Huron structures in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. This has had a negative impact on gas prices as supply exceeds local demand.

Oil and gas are the predominant sources of energy in the world and are likely to remain so in the foreseeable future. Natural gas will remain a "local" fuel. Given the reluctance to replace the nuclear power stations in Japan, Germany and the United States, the dependence, worldwide,

Page 9: Small-Cap Research 18, 2012...Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Year (Oct) (Jan) (Apr) (Jul) (Jul) 2010 $0.53A 2011 $0.11A $0.12A $1.26A $1.93A $3.41A ... Third quarter results were close to those reported

Zacks Investment Research Page 9 scr.zacks.com

on oil will increase over time. The EPA is pressurizing the coal fired generating stations to close or switch to cleaner fuels thereby moving electricity generation to natural gas where available or to fuel oil, although at present prices gas is cheaper than coal. Natural gas currently exceeds coal as the energy source for power stations in the US.

In the 2012 Annual Energy Outlook the U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that net imports of crude oil will decline from 49% of consumption in 2010 to 35% (of a higher rate of consumption) in 2035. The reference and high price targets in 2035 are $140 a bbl and $200 a bbl.

INDUSTRY POSITION

Duma Energy is one of a number of small oil and gas companies in an industry dominated by very large multinational companies. The industry is highly competitive at all levels as well as competing with other sources of energy such as coal and synthetic fuels. Duma Energy is not able to control its selling prices

Page 10: Small-Cap Research 18, 2012...Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Year (Oct) (Jan) (Apr) (Jul) (Jul) 2010 $0.53A 2011 $0.11A $0.12A $1.26A $1.93A $3.41A ... Third quarter results were close to those reported

which are set by the international markets. The oil and gas industry is subject to changes in regulation and legislation that may not be favorable to small companies

VALUATION

Based on the P/S and EV/S ratios the stock is selling at a significant discount from the group average. As product sales increase and the Namibia Owambo concession is more closely defined regarding the amount of oil and its accessibility we would expect the valuation to move closer to the group median. Given our sales per share estimate for 2013 and the mean P/S ratio of the peer group our price target is $5.00 a share.

RISKS

To be able to develop current and future oil and gas leases the company must obtain additional financing.

Exploration and drilling may not result in commercially viable quantities of oil and gas.

Drilling for and production of oil and gas may cause environmental damage resulting in expensive remediation activities.

Government regulations at all levels may change the economics of exploration and production which could cause the company to operate at a loss.

Falling oil and gas prices in local markets may result in operating losses.

Exploration and production in remote areas may not have the necessary infrastructure to transport oil and gas to markets.

Political events in developing countries may result in the loss of lease ownership and the inability to recapture prior expenses.
